Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I'm back with another poem to commemorate National Poetry Month. Today I'm sharing my favorite Mary Oliver poem; I know I've posted it before but I couldn't help but write about it again today. I have this poem taped up on the windowsill by my computer and read it multiple times a week, as I... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week is off to a great start. Ours has been moving forward with a few hitches. Yesterday Bronwyn and I were feeling under the weather and spent most of the afternoon on the couch watching Marvel movies. I'm feeling much better this morning and hope that Bronwyn wakes up the...

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was full -- busy with baking and cooking. Sometimes I don't enjoy those tasks, but I have been lately. I hope that feeling sticks for a while because it's a very big part of my job around here! And the best part is that the... Continue Reading →
(photo credit; Wendell Berry at his desk.) April is National Poetry Month in the US. I confess that I struggle with poetry and don't understand why poets make their decisions: Why divide your sentences in half like that? Why put in those random breaks? Huh.

Happy Wednesday, friends! We're in the middle of a cloudy and rainy week here in central New Hampshire and that means more time for reading!

I'm here today to share what I've read since last Wednesday. I hope you have a hot beverage handy because it was full... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday! I am so pleased that we're nearing the weekend. The kids are almost completely back to themselves but the adults are still struggling with the cold we've had over the last week+. I am still not sleeping well, have a nagging cough, and am full of sinus pressure and pain. I am hoping... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! This post is being published a little late because I've been sleeping poorly and haven't been able to wake up as early as I'd like. This cough just won't go away and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm hoping that I'll be feeling better soon, but I want to stay caught... Continue Reading →
Thank you everyone for your well wishes in my last post. Colton is pretty much back to normal but the rest of us are struggling. And it always makes the weekends hard when one child isn't sick but the rest of us are. Colton was pretty bored and impatient with us, especially given that we... Continue Reading →
